Migros weekly newspapers with a new look

Starting Monday, the German-language Migros-Magazin and the French-language Migros Magazine will be published with a refreshed look, a clear, streamlined structure, and a more focused content concept.

In doing so, they are also following the needs of their readers from the survey conducted in the fall of 2013. The weekly newspapers are now divided into three parts. To facilitate orientation, each section has its own color. The new opening pages and the layout with generous white space improve reader guidance, while the new fonts increase readability. Emotional and expressive images convince through their naturalness and at the same time offer inspiration to the readership. The content is increasingly linked to multimedia. Readers can access further information online, get in touch with the editorial staff, or go to Migrosmagazine.ch and Migrosmagazine.ch join in the discussion. Hans Schneeberger, Editor-in-Chief of Migros Magazine: "The newspaper is younger, more modern and better structured. At the same time, we remain sociopolitically relevant - and we surprise and entertain."

The "People"/"Société" section continues to offer moving portraits of people with exciting lifestyles, interviews with people who shape Switzerland, and reports on relevant topics from the fields of society, politics, or education.Migros has a more compact and dynamic appearance within the newspaper as a whole. The newly created section "Migros-Welt"/"Univers Migros" brings together everything worth knowing about Migros products and promotions, background reports on the company's cultural and social commitment, and news from the ten regional cooperatives.The "Life"/"Au quotidien" section focuses on service and advice. New, exciting columnists write about topics from their areas of expertise. The beauty guide and answers to original children's questions complement the previous topics of family, health, travel, gardening, cars and digital."This section of the newspaper is where readers can expect the biggest change in content," says Steve Gaspoz, Rédacteur en Chef Migros Magazine. "From now on, they will find even more practical and helpful tips for everyday life here."

Werbewoche: Will there be more or less coverage of Migros internals in the new issue?
Hans Schneeberger: We no longer report on Migros topics as before. However, they will now be bundled in a section of the newspaper in the middle, they will have a more compact and dynamic structure and we will no longer differentiate between corporate communications, marketing and regional topics.

What do you like about the new look?
Steve Gaspoz: The newspaper is now better structured. It is clearly divided into three parts, but without falling apart. It has a more modern visual language and some new sections. In addition, we have agreed on a consulting collaboration with the Migros subsidiary Medbase. A broad-based team of physicians will be responsible for a competent health section in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

Will the changes also be visible online?
Schneeberger: We are currently undergoing a major reorganization of migrosmagazin.ch anyway, which is why we have deliberately held back on changes here. However, we will also publish a large part of the new sections online.

TBD & Chocolate Films: Success Stories

Are people receiving disability benefits looking for work? TBD & Chocolate Films share touching success stories from the world of work.

Skepticism and prejudice coupled with anxiety are the biggest hurdles for jobseekers who receive IV support. All too often they are labeled with the "IV stamp" and are not even given a chance when looking for a job. However, many employers have misconceptions about these people. They also know very little about the support options offered by the cantonal IV offices. The FSIO (Federal Social Insurance Office) and the IVSK (Conference of IV Offices) are therefore now addressing employers directly in order to allay concerns and communicate the services provided by the IV offices.

Four success stories of successful integration are presented in a touching film. With different cases from different sectors and specific solutions in each case. From an apprentice baker and a plumber to a warehouse worker and a junior art director.
The film was conceived and realized in cooperation with tbd and Chocolate Films. It is used on the cantonal websites, in digital media and in direct contact with employers.

Responsible at the BSV and the IVSK: Chiara Mombelli, Jean Stöpfer (project manager BSV); Nicole Röthlisberger, Daniela Aloisi, Doris Aebi, Mathieu Mariethoz, Christoph Bürgi, Dominique Dorthe (members of the working group, representatives of IVSK). Responsible at TBD and Chocolate Films: Tom Seinige, Sandro Nicotera (creation), Lukas Wälli (direction), Michela Trümpi, Alexandra Reis (production, project management).

Last but not least: 50 Shades of Shame

Millions of women have already seen the film version of "50 Shades of Grey". Plus one man. A camera captured the memorable event by chance. Caught!

The critics aren't very enthusiastic, but the cinema operators are: "50 Shades of Grey" is ensuring a full box office in Swiss cinemas. The film attracted almost as many viewers in its first weekend as "Dr Goalie bin ig" did in the whole of last year. In the USA, it grossed 85 million dollars on its opening weekend and is the best-attended Valentine's Day film of all time. To summarize: "50 Shades of Grey" is one of the 40 most successful cinema releases of all time.

Unbenannt-8_52

It's no secret that books and films appeal primarily to women. The novel trilogy has made the genre of erotic literature socially acceptable and brought the sadomasochistic whip into the bedroom at home.

Nevertheless, every now and then a man gets lost in the movies. Out of loyalty to his partner, for example. Or out of curiosity: a man hopes to find out why the books have found over 70 million enthusiastic female buyers worldwide. Others simply want to see naked skin and sadomasochistic scenes (and will probably be disappointed - the SDA headline was "More Hollywood romance than erotic thriller").

We don't know which group the following gentleman belongs to. He certainly seems embarrassed to be seen in the movie in question. As if he were in a sex movie. The anonymity thing didn't work out so well after all - almost two million people have already watched the viral clip "Man caught seeing 50 Shades Of Grey" on YouTube. Watch the movie (hae)

 

Alpha 245: There is always a story at the core

Alpha 245 created a new website for Delicia that tells the story behind every coffee bean.

To know what you are eating, you have to look carefully when shopping. Not only when buying meat, as we are used to doing nowadays, but also with other products such as those from Delica. For over 60 years, the company has been responsible for the responsible cultivation, transportation, production and packaging of coffee and long-life foods such as dried fruit, nuts, seeds, spices and pulses. And this is precisely where Alpha 245 has taken a very close look for Delica, making it easier for consumers to do the same: behind every coffee bean and every nut is Delica's local commitment - in other words, a whole story worth telling.

At Delica.ch the user can take a look behind the scenes, or into the core of the raw materials. With one click, the bean or nut opens and in the artfully carved kernel you can find out everything there is to know about the raw material.

Germans get to enjoy Telebasel

A total of 26 German municipalities in the border region will begin receiving the Swiss regional broadcaster, based in Basel, starting on February 19, 2015. The media company will thus reach an additional 62,000 households just before the Basel Fasnacht.

From Weil am Rhein, Lörrach, Rheinfelden, Bad Säckingen to Waldshut-Tiengen and on to Auggen, Neuenburg and Müllheim, residents receive a total of 25 regional broadcasts and the full Fasnacht program. "We are very happy that our region no longer ends at the national borders in terms of media. Now residents in South Baden can also follow events in and around Basel - after all, we are one region," says Telebasel CEO Dominik Prétôt, delighted with the expansion, which the media company has been working towards for a long time. With the expansion, the broadcaster is taking advantage of the location of the Basel region with around 34,000 cross-border commuters from Germany. The Telebasel program will not change. The existing program that Telebasel viewers in the broadcasting area of north-western Switzerland are familiar with will be broadcast on a one-to-one basis. Telebasel will be broadcast unencrypted and digitally in standard quality (SD) on channel 168 and is included in the basic cable connection.

Viewers in the Swiss broadcasting area can now receive Telebasel in HD if the respective cable network operator has already taken over Telebasel's HD signal for this purpose.

SNK: New brand identity for Visberg

As a competence center and specialized job agency for older workers, Visberg connects companies and 55/65plus employees. The Zurich branding agency SNK develops the appearance for the new player in the Swiss labor market.

Demographic change and increased life expectancy are changing Switzerland and the labor market. More and more older people are continuing to work after retirement, and more and more industries are relying on these experienced workers. Or to put it another way: working after retirement - the 3rd career phase - is becoming a social megatrend. "As a first mover, we want to tap the potential of older workers and specialists," explains Michael Büchel, co-founder and partner of Visberg.

visberg

There are many reasons for hiring retired skilled and unskilled workers. "Experienced employees are particularly valuable in the retail sector, for example, because older customers want contact persons of their own age," emphasizes Büchel. In addition, mixed-age teams have been proven to increase productivity and are good for a contemporary corporate image. In addition to the placement of suitable employees, Visberg offers companies competent advice and the option of completely outsourcing HR processes.

Visberg knows the needs of experienced workers, knows which industries rely on the skills of senior experts and reliably places experienced professionals and support staff. Whether for jobs in healthcare, hotel & catering or construction and engineering: registering for the Visberg pool is simple and discreet via Visberg.ch.
